Tisha B’Av – the 70th week of Daniel

Tens of thousands of Israeli Jews gathered at the Western Wall in Jerusalem’s Old City on Tuesday to mark Tisha B’Av and publicly mourn the loss of Israel’s ancient temples and the “Exile of the Divine Presence.”

“Tisha B’Av was not intended to be a day of perpetual mourning, but rather, a bridge to the future; the yearning and desire which our mourning inspires is designed to motivate us to rebuild,” Richman wrote on the Temple Institute website.

“The renewal of Israel and the building of the Holy Temple is a process that has begun and is now unstoppable,” concluded Richman. “This nation is preparing to ‘rise up like a lion’ (Numbers 23:24). We are moving ever closer to the day on which we can truly say, without jaded cynicism or facetiousness but with true sincerity, that Tisha B’Av is no longer relevant, for it will have turned into a day of gladness.”

There is controversy over the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple. It comes from many different sources, Christian, Jew, Moslem and just about everybody with an opinion on the subject. However, what does the Guidebook to the Supernatural tell us? Here, in the 9 chapter of Daniel, as with many prophetic passages, we have those who say that all of what is there has happened and thus, is fulfilled. While others – I’m in this camp – who declare that it is yet to happen, it is still future..

Daniel 9:27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.”

I believe this prophecy is about the future Anti Christ. We know this because of this line: Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week. Now if you believe it has already happened as Preterists do, then there’s nothing more to talk about and the above article about the Jews rebuilding their temple is meaningless. However, Jesus points back to this chapter specifically in Matthew 24. Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” whoever reads, let him understand…

Preterists believe this happened in 70 AD. I don’t believe it did because there was no 7 year treaty, there was no abomination of desolation, and no Anti Christ setting himself up in the Temple to be worshiped. So let’s assume that it didn’t happen, which would mean that at some point after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, the temple would have to be rebuilt and the daily sacrifices reinstituted.

I want to make it clear that this has nothing to do with the atonement of Yashua/Jesus on the cross. He paid the price once for all. But, it has everything to do with the Jews, the Temple, the Anti Christ, and the prophecy of Daniel. You see, if you are a Preterists than the Jews being gathered into their ancient homeland means nothing. If you hold to the tenants of that position, then when Jerusalem is finally taken out of the hands of the gentiles, after almost 2000 years, as Yashua/Jesus said it would be, and the Jews regain control of it, it means nothing. If you believe that these prophecies have been fulfilled, then the Jews wanting to rebuild their temple again, again, means nothing.

However, if we take what I believe is the correct position, that of realizing that the 70th week of Daniel has not been fulfilled and that it is still in the future, then stories like the one I linked to above are pregnant with prophetic meaning.

The Jews will rebuild their Temple, because it has been prophesied that they will do so. They will reinstitute the daily sacrifice. They will Align themselves unknowingly with the one who is called the Anti Christ. He will betray them and set himself up in the newly constructed Temple, after 3 1/2 years to be worshipped. This is the coming abomination of desolation that Yashua/Jesus spoke of. Then when all seems lost, He, Yashua/Jesus will come riding on a white horse and His feet will split the Mount of Olives:

Zec 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for [his] only [son], and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for [his] firstborn.

I of course am in the futurist camp as well. I believe that Daniel’s “70th Week” prophecy is yet to be fulfilled at some point in the future with again,the future man of sin or Antichrist. As you have stated before, all of these things will be self-evident when they occur.

I believe that my preterist friends will be either surprised or disappointed when this all comes down.

I agree with you 100% L.A. The temple is still to come and I believe the Antichrist will play a major role in getting it rebuilt. I also think the treaty will include the building of the temple so that he can get the Jews on board. He might offer dual control of Jerusalem to the Arabs and Jews to make it work, but I’m not sure on that. I’m still wondering what he has to offer the Arabs that only want to destroy Israel.

Thank you for writing about this as I find it gets very confusing as to what is ‘right’ and what isn’t as regards all these issues about the Temple. I’m relieved to see you post the same link to the Temple Institute that Dee posted yesterday because I wasn’t sure about it. I find I have to question everything these days.

On another note, yes, ‘keep an eye on Costa Rica’. I have some friends down there and there is a new group on FB set up to say ‘no’ to the U.S. military presence and last I looked there are over 24,000 members. The Tico’s are not happy. Not sure how your Spanish is, but if you ever wanted to talk to the peoples in the middle of it all, do so here:

Question? What “action or actions” would gain favor with the mulsim populus to allow Israel to build the third temple next to Al-Aqsa on the temple mount?

A PEACE TREATY

Netanyahu could sign a peace agreement with Hamas and Fatah int he near future allowing for a Palestinian state. There is huge pressure from the US to get a treay accomplished prior to the November elections. The treaty will be tied to compensation for Israel allowing for “money and weapons.” George Mitchell has been pressing both sides hard. However I do not think the new Palestianian State will encompass the same pre 1967 borders. Jordan or the UN will police the Palestinian state. Israel will still do fly overs.

However I do predict a shocker!

I predict Netanyahu will include part of Jerusalem as a Palestinian Capital. The Muslim quarter or West Jerusalem. Hamas and Fatah would have to sign off on this an be in agreement with be King Abdullah. King Abdullah is a direct descendant Allah. His approval will meet approval of all muslims world wide.

However with the agreement allowing the Palestinians to have part of Jerusalem will be the agreement to allow Israel to build on the temple mount next to the masque.

However I do not think this will be the peace treaty with the anti christ.

When the peace treaty with Hamas is finished I think this will give Israel the green light to strike Iran and Hezbollah. Hamas and Fatah will have to cooperate.
Hezbollah or Iran would not hit parts of a Palestinian State? It’s like a protective border for Israel.

You mention that King Abdullah is a “direct descendant of Allah.” That would make him akin to a pharaoh type since Allah is a ‘god’ (i.e. fallen being). Perhaps you mean he is a direct descendant of Mohammed? It is said that King Abdullah’s ancestry is of the ruling Hashemite kingdom.
Your idea of a peace treaty with Hamas is not too far fetched… it does sound feasible. Although I must ask you why you don’t think this one to be THE prophetic AC peace treaty?

UFOs over China? Not quite, analyst says
(CNN) — Those probably were not UFOs that hovered over China recently, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology analyst said.
The images of the UFOs have caused quite a stir in China and on blogs around the world.
But many of the images appear to be faked with the software program Photoshop and the ones that were not faked seem to depict the launch of a Chinese ballistic missile, said Geoffrey Forden, an MIT weapons analyst.http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/07/20/china.ufo.debunked/index.html?hpt=T2#fbid=6Y6LurQK7wK

The Golden Rule or ethic of reciprocity is an ethical code, or a
morality[2], that states (in four forms, see table below):

One should treat others according to how one would like others to
treat them (positive, passive form)
Treat others as you would like to be treated (positive, active form)
One should not treat others in ways one would not like to be treated
(prohibitive, passive form)
Do not treat others in ways you would not like to be treated
(prohibitive, active form. Also called the Silver Rule)
The Golden Rule has a long history, and a great number of prominent
religious figures and philosophers have restated the above four forms
of the Rule in various ways.

The Golden Rule is arguably the most essential basis for the modern
concept of human rights, in which each individual has a right to just
treatment, and a responsibility to ensure justice for others.[3] A key
element of the Golden Rule is that a person attempting to live by this
rule treats all people, not just members of his or her in-group, with
consideration. The Golden Rule has its roots in a wide range of world
cultures, and is a standard which different cultures use to resolve
conflicts.[4]

The Golden Rule has a history that long predates the term “Golden
Rule” (or “Golden law,” as it was called from the 1670s[5]). It was
present in certain forms in the philosophies of ancient Babylon,
Egypt, India, Greece, Judea, and China. Principal philosophers and
religious figures have stated it in different ways, but its most
common English phrasing first appeared in a Catholic catechism around
1567 (certainly in the reprint of 1583[6]): That English phrasing is a
translation of ancient Greek manuscripts; and in the original Greek it
is attributed to Jesus of Nazareth in the Biblical book of Matthew:
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” (Matthew 7:12,
Matthew 22:39, Luke 6:31)

Several passages in the New Testament quote Jesus of Nazareth
espousing the golden rule, including the following:

Matthew 7:12

In everything, do to others what you would want them to do to
you. This is what is written in the Law and in the Prophets.

Luke 6:31

Do to others as you want them to do to you.

Luke 10:25-28

And one day an authority on the law stood up to put Jesus to
the test. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to receive eternal
life?”

What is written in the Law?” Jesus replied. “How do you
understand it?” 27He answered, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your
heart and with all your soul. Love him with all your strength and with
all your mind.’(Deuteronomy 6:5) And, ‘Love your neighbor as you love
yourself.’ ” 28“You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do that,
and you will live.”.

The passage in the book of Luke then continues with Jesus answering
the question, “Who is my neighbor?”, by telling the parable of the
Good Samaritan, indicating that “your neighbour” is anyone in need.
[30] Jesus’ teaching, however, goes beyond the negative formulation of
not doing what one would not like done to themselves, to the positive
formulation of actively doing good to another that, if the situations
were reversed, one would desire that the other would do for them. This
formulation, as indicated in the parable of the Good Samaritan,
emphasises the needs for positive action that brings benefit to
another, not simply restraining oneself from negative activities that
hurt another. Taken as a rule of judgement, both formulations of the
golden rule, the negative and positive, are equally applicable.[31]

Keeping the Golden rule would solve a lot of the worlds problems,
There would be no crime, no war, no broken marriages, etc.

however it is not a easy rule for nations and individuals to
keep…that is why we need God’s help. Jesus said the folllowing:

John.15

[4] Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of
itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide
in me.
[5] I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I
in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do
nothing.
[6] If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is
withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they
are burned.

Gal.5

[22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith,
[23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Eph.5

[9] (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness
and truth;)

We cannot be justified by the Golden Rule or God’s moral laws if we have broken any of His commandments.

So, God has provide a means of atonement through His Son.

John.1

[29] The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
[36] And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!

Rom.5

[1] Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Gal.3

[24] Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Eph.2

[1] And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
[2] Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
[3] Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
[4] But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
[5] Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
[6] And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
[7] That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
[8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
[9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.
[10] For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Does anyone ever consider that ufos could be unmanned drones used to create a distractions or possibly big brother spying on us? I heard a radio show where they talked about college kids in a office in Las Vegas flying unmanned drone aircraft in missions in Iraq.

I’m leaning in the direction that there will be no temple and no peace treaty. We really need to be bereans and wonder why we are waiting for these things, were we taught that?

Jesus said, Luke 13:34-35
34″O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 35Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'[a]”

He was just speaking about the judgement of the second temple being destroyed because they didn’t recognize the hour of their visitation. Their house was to become desolate and remain that way because Jesus said it.

I believe the covenant being confirmed is the 70th week of Daniel restarting. Confirmed meaning strengthen (or the restart thereof.) Antichrist doesn’t confirm it, the one who controls time does. Now on the ending sacrifice and offering I’m a little fuzzy on. Was that Daniel-speak for ending worship as we know it today? God is going to do a great work at the end of the age, God’s spirit is going to be poured out on all flesh. Would this qualify for that fulfillment? I believe Rev 11 describing the temple is what I just referenced. John is told to measure, any time we see measuring, it’s measuring against a standard. We’re being weighed and judged. The reason the outer court is not measured is because those are the ones that don’t have fellowship with the Father in the inner chamber. He doesn’t know them in that regard. Rev. 11 is speaking about the two witnesses which I believe is his two groups he has always had: Jews and christians (Is 43).

DANIELS 7Oth WEEK.
A review of Daniel’s 70th week will show that The advocates of dispensationalism have removed it [the last week of the prophecy] out of it’s scriptural context Dan9:24-29.
Thus breaking the prophetic theme by making the Last week of the prophecy to be within the Time of the end. The Theology (dispensation) has detached it from the flow of 70 continuous weeks.

Dan9:24 reads “Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, 1. to finish transgression, 2. to make an end of Sin, 3. to make Atonement for iniquity, 4. to bring in Everlasting Righteousness, 5. to seal up vision and Prophecy, 6. and to anoint the most holy place”………. Note that all of this is to take place within the 70 weeks!

The terminal point of the sixty-nine weeks is the manifestation of the Christ to Israel by His baptism and anointing and the beginning of the Lord’s ministry.
The 69th week brings us unto the messiah but “not unto his death”.
He was cut Off (crucified) in The 70th week, ” Atoning for iniquity ,bringing in Everlasting Righteousness” Fulfilling the six predictions of Daniel 9:24 as noted in Vs24 above.

This is also validated in Vs27 That He Jesus by His perfect Atonement Shall confirm the covenant with “Many” (Please see the words of Jesus at the last supper in the gospels and the Apostolic teaching on the covenant made with many). A portion of this verse 27 is taken out of context by implying it to Antichrist as the one making the covenant with Israel during the great tribulation period .
The emphasis in on the word “Many” and not Israel that the covenant is made

The truth is; that it is Jesus The Christ which makes the New covenant with many! and not a political concordat between Antichrist and Israel.

By His once and for all sacrifice, “In the midst of the week, HE (Jesus) shall cause the sacrifice and ablation to cease……. And on the wing of abomination will come ONE who makes desolate”…..Vs27.

The ONE prophesied to come was The prince of vs26, Titus , Son of the Emperor Vespasian coming upon the wing of abominations in desecration of the temple and utter Destruction.70AD
((The ONE, is not “He” who makes the covenant with many)) The 70th week applies to Christ alone. (Read it vs 24)

The time Span between messiah being cut off in the 70th week and the ONE to come is outside of the 70th week. It is not part of vs 24 which applies to Christ alone.

The time span between the end of the 70th week and the ONE to come was 40 years of mercy to that nation of Jews by the Preaching of the Gospel of grace. (the calling by God to the Lost sheep of Israel (the Many) for which Jesus Had come).

Josephus the Jewish historian gives a great account in detail of that Time of Great distress upon that people.

I would recommend a thorough reading of Daniel Chapter 9:24-27 without the conceived theology of modern dispensation Theory.
Lay down the concepts of men at the cross of the one crucified in the Fullness of Time.

(See Blog The Fullness of Time & Antichrist an Apostate in the temple)

Hi John B. I believe you are torturing the text. Here’s is what the word temple means:

From a primary naio (to dwell) used of the temple at Jerusalem, but only of the sacred edifice (or sanctuary) itself, consisting of the Holy place and the Holy of Holies (in classical Greek it is used of the sanctuary or cell of the temple, where the image of the god was placed which is distinguished from the whole enclosure)

Now the third definition is what you state but it is used metaphorically: metaph. the spiritual temple consisting of the saints of all ages joined together by and in Christ

However, I do not think that a metaphoric meaning is what is being referred to here. In this we will disagree and that’s fine. As I keep harping on, at some point all of this will become self evident. By the way I’m not a dispensationalist, but like you, I’m a student of the Bible and I take it literally. Therefore, the third temple will be rebuilt, and as the rest of the verse says and very pointedly, he will sit down as God in the temple of God. What we see shaping up is the fulfillment of this prophecy! L.A.

Hi LA; I do take the third definition you mention exactly for the reason you say, it is in relation in conjunction that I believe the AC is as Judas was! (an Apostate) in the midst of Jesus and His disciples.

I do believe that there is strong scriptural support for this.
Christ himself referred to Judas as The “Son of perdition”, Apostle Paul on the Mystery of Iniquity says that the “son of perdition” KJV sits in the temple. Apostle John Says AC is “out of us” (the christian Body)

These 3 scriptural references show me that Ac is Not a false Christ as some say, But “an Apostate” in the Midst of the Great Apostasy, a second Judas “a betrayer of The Faith of Jesus” in conjunction with the mystery of Iniquity. I don’t think that this is torturing Scripture.

I do not refer dispensation as pertaining to you personally, It is the theology, I have a good friend who says that he Is a “Zionist christian” To me That is Not Apostolically sound If you know what I mean.

I do recognize that there is a push to build a temple not only from among Jews but also by many Christians. All I am saying is that It is not God’s temple in the light of what I have shared with You.

I respect you as a man of God, we just disagree on some Issues of prophecy.
That does not mean that I do not Take the scriptures Literally, It is written as such, However; There are scriptures pertaining to The natural realm and others to the Spiritual, specially when it comes to imagery and symbolism Ex; if my eye causes me to sin do I literally pluck it out.
So; yes we apprehend in a literal manner but at Times the message conveyed is spiritual in Context.

I love the Lord with all my Heart as I am sure you Do and as most on this blog also do.
I also believe that the things I say and share on this blog are valid and true and may be hard to understand by some, Let us not judge each other. As Late Night once said “Iron sharpens Iron

That is the difference. Some Christians want to spiritualize these passages & others take them literally.

Personally, I’m comfortable w/ taking them literally because so far- viewing them though the lens of current world events they are lining up to be literally fulfilled.

This is just probably human nature but I’ve read in the past when Christians thought something would happen literally in a particular time frame & it didn’t- they would give up & end up spiritualizing the passage. (probably to make themselves feel better.)

Then after they were long gone – it was literally fulfilled. (For example the passages which support the re-birth of Israel.)

Or- if the literal interpretation doesn’t fit w/their theological views- they would/(& still do) spiritualize it. Look what the Catholic Church, JW’s, 7 Days, etc.. do w/the prophetic books. They turn it around to only be talking about their personal role in the last days.

I remember hearing one time that the third temple could be a tent similar to the “tabernacle in the wilderness” and it could be erected in a manner of hours, if all the pieces were ready. In this scenario, Israel could be worshiping God with their animal sacrifice very quickly. Also, the reference of Revelations 11:2 to the outer court means that the temple will coexist with the nearby Dome of the Rock? (“But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.”)

On Savage Nation tonight they covered a story about over 500 dead penguins washing up on a Brazilian beach. 10 a year is normal. What made these even stranger is when some were autopsied their stomachs were gone. This made me think of the cattle mutilations with body parts removed. What do the rest of you think?

Yeah, I remember Burgess Meredith from my childhood. Batman and old movies..he was a great actor and that voice !

And since UFO’s are being talked about… has anyone watched the vids on hologram “chem planes” with orbs/UFO’s darting in and out ? I thought I’d pretty much covered Chems, and was shocked when I saw these vids.OH NOW WHAT ! ? Like is it Blue Beam or masquerading Neph’s or is the Mothership really just out of view? Or how about is it all fake…blue beam,even Niburi /Wormwood/Dwarf star etc., and they are trying to freak us out so much w/ scary dis info and lying wonders we keel over in fear or excessive internet studies and die ? Vids below:

It was a coinky dink I saw a chem plane disappear on Sunday 7-18, and that after 7 weeks of no chems.We have had chems bad for several years w/ hardly a clear no lined sky day.Breathing highly effected. Many are reporting no chems where they live and a possible Gulf connection ?

Good old Burgess! It’s funny you bring that last wee role up. My three year old nephew is starting to get into superheroes and at his mom’s house they show him the new films (a bit young I’d say.) So when he was herek I got him to watch the old Batman movie based on the TV series. He seemed to enjoy that because it was Batman. Then later that night a bat actually got into our house. ha ha.

I’ll always remember Burgess most as the guy on the Twilight Zone who survived the atomic bomb, looking forward to a future of reading without being bothered only to break his glasses. That was a great one.

As for the 1950’s black listing, have you been hearing the comments from some media people that McCarthy wasn’t that far off about Communism/Russians in America, he just went about it all wrong?

Lisa, I am glad someone appreciated my “end time ” humor ! No one answered my question…do you know anything about the holographic…blue beam perhaps,fake chemtrail planes w/ UFO’s houvering around ?I hoped LA would have some info or know something.Did anyone watch the vids on the link ?If you already know then please fill me in. If I told you guys I have seen a reppy would you respond more ? I am becoming bold in my desperation for TRUTH ! Huzzah, and Praise the Lord …He is empowering His people just as He said He would !I have the Spirit of Truth leading and guiding me, so maybe some of you w/ the same would respond?
Thanks again, Heather

That Coast to Coast about the Djinn is on right now. It’s sort of interesting when you take the word “djinn” and replace it with “demon” or “fallen angel“ or Nephilim“. The guests tell stories very similar to this stuff. They said the djinn are inter-dimensional being, can possess bodies, they notoriously lie, they make deals with world governments, they mate with humans, they dwell in caves on the earth, and on and on and on. I’d say that these authorities are describing the Biblically based entities even though they insist they are different. They sound exactly the same to me.

I’ll probably download it to listen again. The best part was when the expert talked about his trip in the Middle East looking for the Djinn and all of those sources told him about the US Government trying to capture them. Wow.

Cap’n E, did they say “how” the US tried capturing them? Was it with a vaccum cleaner thingy? LOL. NO really of course not had to get that chuckle out of the way. I would curious to know really? Did he go on to say?

No. The man said he was in some middle eastern country looking for information on them and ended up dining with a prince. The prince told him that the US government is after the Djinn technology (the same thing we hear about the “aliens”) The guy found an old man who told him the same thing and sent him to a cave where the come from between worlds. The guy went there and a voice chased his guide and another man away.

They also said that the djinn are against angels and are allies of demons. Now what does that tell you?

I believe this was the alien/demonic stuff under another name. Very interesting.

I am very curious if anyone has ever read or heard about the book titled “The Armageddon Script” by Peter Lemesurier? I read it in the late 80’s (published in 1981) and was stunned at what was written in those pages! Basically it’s about a staged/faked/manipulated second coming of Jesus Christ (AC???) Lemesurier goes to great lengths to convince readers that Biblical prophecy is “self-fulfilling”… deception will definitely be used by the worldly PTB in order to bring Biblical prophecy to pass!
If you do choose to read this book do so with great caution as the author is a “New Age” messenger. But do not overlook the possibility that elitists just might attempt to fool “even the elect”.
Yahweh’s peace and covering to you all.
“Moment”

Thanks for your response, Heather! Something else occurred to me as I was watching this video… that while we are being informed of this “elitists-intend to-fool-the-masses-through-technology” there is also a flip side to that coin, and that is that this so-called “Project Bluebeam” may in reality be nothing more than another in a long line of disinformation programs. In other words, the PB is in itself a LIE not only its deceptive tactics on which it is based! Just some food for thought. We must be cognizant (i.e. “of sober mind”) of this possibility in matters concerning worldly schemes in end time prophecy. Pray always for spiritual discernment.

I wouldn’t assume the 2 Thess 2 reference to antichrist coming into the temple declaring himself god to be the abomination that causes desolation. Can anyone find any verses to correlate the two? The one Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24 is referencing Daniel is the 70AD abomination.

The last days abomination occurs on day 1290. That is just over mid point of the 70th week. The king from the bottomless pit is Apollyon and he only has 5 months to torment the men of the earth. This is key: the king of the bottomless pit, is from the abyss: abussos meaning deep; as in deep sea. The beast from the sea is the beast from the bottomless pit: it’s Apollyon. reread that sentence: the beast from the sea is the beast from the bottomless pit. It’s Apollyon, aka Nimrod. The 8th king is one of the 7 previous kings, he inhabits the one with the mortal head wound. He will be the one going into some temple, place of worship declaring himself god. And we know he only has 5 months.

The fact that there are Two symbols referring to the same thing (Apollyon from the Pit and The beast from the sea) is a reality to be Grasped in our understanding the Book of revelations.

For instance; There are seven seals, seven Trumpets and seven bowls which are all the same events magnified Threefold 777 the perfect wrath of the Almighty amplified over and over and over.
In other words: If we are to place the seals in parallel to the trumpets and likewise the bowls we find The repetition in sequence amplified.

It is not 21 separate judgments but only 7 judgments given in greater details and the seven judgments is the break down of the Four Horseman.

The Book is repetitive in context in order to give understanding and of course it cannot contradict the Gospels nor the apostles doctrine which is our guide to the revelation thereof.

0. Daniel’s prophecy is about 911
The story of Nebuchadnezzar in the Book of Daniel is about 911. There are a number of similarities of the Empire of Nebuchadnezzar and the Empire of Saddam Hussein. I start with the Tree that grew tall and strong. When the tree was cut down the Kings reign fell with it. When the Twin Towers fell Saddam’s reign also fell.

1. Both Kings lived in Iraq
Saddam Hussein is a representative for Nebuchadnezzar in the Book of Daniel. Saddam and Nebuchadnezzar are archetypes. They are both similar stories. In a number of ways they can be viewed as exactly the same story. When the Tree (Twin Towers) fell so does their empires. I found the following information on another site:

Nebuchadnezzar’s Palace:
In 1982, Saddam’s workers began reconstructing Babylon’s most imposing building, the 600-room palace of King Nebuchadnezzar II. Archaeologists were horrified. Many said that to rebuild on top of ancient artifacts does not preserve history, but disfigures it. The original bricks, which rise two or three feet from the ground, bear ancient inscriptions praising Nebuchadnezzar. Above these, Saddam Hussein’s workers laid more than 60-million sand-colored bricks inscribed with the words, “In the era of Saddam Hussein, protector of Iraq, who rebuilt civilization and rebuilt Babylon.” The new bricks began to crack after only ten years.

2. The Tree is a symbol of the Economy

Daniel interprets King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream in this verse:

Dan 4: 20 “The tree that you beheld, that grew great and became strong and the height of which finally reached the heavens and which was visible to all the earth. 21 and the foliage of which was fair, and the fruit of which was abundant, and on which there was food for all; under which the beasts of the field would dwell, and on the boughs of which the birds of the heavens would reside, 22 it is you, O king, because you have grown great and become strong, and your grandeur has grown great and reached to the heavens, and your rulership to the extremity of the earth.

The tree is a metaphor for a skyscraper. The tree in this verse is also a symbol of the economy. In the same way the World Trade Center is also a symbol of the economy.

Daniel 4: 23 “’And because the king beheld a watcher, even a holy one, coming down from the heavens, who was also saying; “Chop the tree down, and RUIN it. However, LEAVE its rootstock itself in earth, but with a banding of iron and of copper, among the grass of the field, and with the dew of the heavens let it become wet, and with the beasts of the field let its portion be until seven times themselves pass over it.

When the Twin Towers fell so did the DOW and the economy. The remaining structure was removed down to its foundation. The tower foundation is similar to the rootstock of the tree. The clean up took approx. 8 months. Date of ceremony marking end of the clean-up of the Twin Towers was: May 30, 2002. ( Note there were 7 buildings in the WTC.)

4. The End nears for Nebuchadnezzar and Saddam Hussein.
After a year passes since the fall of the Towers both Nebuchadnezzar’s and Saddam’s regime begins to pass.

Dan 4: 29 At the end of twelve lunar months he happened to be walking upon the royal place of Babylon. 30 The king was answering and saying: “Is not this Babylon the Great. , that I myself have built for the royal house with the strength of my might and for the dignity of my majesty?” 31 While the word was yet in the king’s mouth, there was a voice that fell from the heavens: “ To you it is being said, O Nebuchadnezzar the King, “The kingdom itself has gone away from you,

The 2003 invasion of Iraq (March 20 – May 1, 2003), was the start of the conflict known as the Iraq War or Operation Iraqi Freedom in which a combined force of troops from the United States, alongside the United Kingdom, and smaller contingents from Australia and Poland invaded Iraq and toppled the regime of Saddam Hussein in 21 days of major combat operations.

5. Period of exile for Nebuchadnezzar and Saddam.

Daniel 4: 32 and from mankind they are driving even you away, and with the beasts of the field your dwelling will be. Vegetation they will give even to you to eat just like bulls, and seven times themselves will pass over you, until you know that the most high is ruler in the kingdom of mankind, and that to the one whom he wants to he gives it.”

After Saddam disappeared the US forces began eagerly searching for him and he was found on Dec. 13, 2003. When Saddam was found in a hole, approximately 7 months after the invasion he looked like this:

Daniel 4:33 and with the dew of the heavens his own body got to be wet, until his very hair grew long just like eagles’ [feathers] and his nails like birds’ [claws]
